We held our mates draft last night in AFL Fantasy Elite called the “Bacon Cup”… as we love our fantasy pigs. Last week we decided our draft order drawing a runner in the Golden Slipper.

I won’t go into too much about what happened as I’m about to do my DT Shiva draft. I have pick 4, much better than the pick 10 I had last night. Anyway. Check out the table below to see how it all unfolded. It was interesting as quite a few blokes were taking part in their first draft. All in all it was fun and a few have learnt a lot from the night. Best of all the beers were flowing!

Some notes:

The first forward went at pick 4 with Stu backing in Dane Swan. Following was Jimmy Bartel (#5 Roy), Dustin Martin (#9 Chop) and Robbie Gray (#11 Chook).

Scottie is a Lions fan and backed in Stefan Martin pretty early… some would say stupidly early. I was happy to take Sam Jacobs with my second pick (#15).

Tit-ed took Dyson Heppell at 18 as the first Bombers. There were a few coaches not scared off by the Bombers.

Below is the draft order in a table. Followed by the teams as drafted.

Co-CEO of DT Talk. My best ever fantasy finish was 13th overall in 2009, but I've been shit since! Maybe I need to take other peoples advice and not my own?! Follow me on Twitter: @WarnieDT

Being a complete n00b to everything draft related in terms of Fantasy Football, I’d love to see you guys make a documentary on the whole process, from the building and recruitment of people into a league, to all the research that goes into it, the banter between you all and the actual draft itself.
